In this work we analyze the orbital evolution and the dynamical stability in the vicinity of the small saturnian moons Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene. We numerically resolve the exact equations of motions to investigate the orbital motion of thousands of test particles within and near to the domain of the 7/6, 14/15, 10/11 mean motion resonances of Aegaeon, Methone and Anthe with Mimas, respectively. We show that, for massless small moons, the orbits of particles initially restricted to the resonant domains remain stable for at least 10 4 yr. We also conduct numerical simulations considering Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene as massive bodies. The results show that most particles undergo significant perturbations in their orbital motions, ultimately destabilizing in timescales of a few hundreds of years or even less through collisions with the four small moons. In addition, we also simulate the orbital evolution of test particles initially distributed in form of arc around Aegaeon, Methone and Anthe. We show that the initial arcs are dynamically eroded on timescales of hundreds of years, allowing us to constraint the timescales for which gravitational forces operate to remove particles from the observed arcs.
